i got this h60 at bestbuy when my zalman cnpps11x didnt fit my mobo.....it was just supposed to be a temp but check out my temps........and this is a 4hr+ prime 95 run........granted i keep my room at 19c but jeez!!!

setup

and here is my screenshot.....sorry its missn the thermometer in the shot....but it was at 19c at for the entire time

so this is an H60 with 2 Zalman sharkfin fans mounted in the horizontal position in a silverstone raven2.....

anyone else see or have similar experience with this cooler???

ps....if you wanna see the rest of my rig its in the project logs under "Bulldozer Blues"

Is this at 4.8 GHz?

 

[badtaylorx]

no sorry i should have put that in its only at 4.5

 

[yassarikhan786]

The temperatures look brill for a 4.5Ghz OC. Have you tried pushing the OC further?

 

[badtaylorx]

sorry....i didn't win the silicon lottery my friend.....4.8 makes it throug burnintest and unigine but not 3dmarkXX or prime95

 

[yassarikhan786]

What voltage did you use for 4.8? 4.5GHz is very respectable and the temps you are getting are excellent.

 

[badtaylorx]

when i switched to intel i made myself a promise not to go past 1.4..........i believe my 4.8 was @ 1.384625 give er take a lil......

and my more constant clock of 4.6 runs @ 1.35 but the asus epu helps out alot.....

 

[yassarikhan786]

Cool. The recommended safe voltage is upto 1.4, but going slightly above that shouldn't do much harm.

Temperatures are looking really good for a 4.5GHz OC. Seems like the H60 isn't so bad either. How are those fans performing? I remember they're also using the fluid dynamic bearing for silence as well. They should be quiet even at full speed.

 

[badtaylorx]

yeah.....they're stupid quiet......i was using a cppl coolermaster excaliburs........HOLY LOUD........i really like the zalmans,,, ive used 'em in a cppl builds now and have only had one crap out on me.......there cfm isnt anything to chirp about but hey...they're silent

 

[fcb]

That's cool. Zalman hasn't really been making any specific fan. Their fans have always been a bit generalised. But, it's great to see that the Shark is actually performing.

 

[Timbaloo]

Silent at 1500rpm? Maybe your understanding of silent differs from mine

 

[badtaylorx]

being in a raven 02-e--- if i cant hear them over the 180mm fans (even w/2@1500rpm) i consider that silent

That sticker on the cooler bothers me.
